    Those 'annoying' players are great though, they can cause star players (or in this case...Chris Kaman) to get upset and throw them off their game which can completely change the direction of a game. Kaman's a b---- for giving him a hard push in the back when he wasn't looking and falling for CP3's trap, basically lost the game for his team by losing his cool. That's a rookie move. Also lol @ walking back after it happens pretending like the refs wouldn't notice with how obvious it was..

    I'd want CP3 on my team more than almost anybody other than a few players.

    I mean if anyone is a b---- in that situation its CP3, obviously. Dont really see any other argument, doesnt take away from how good of a player he is but thats a fact.

    Hard shove to the back of a guy a foot smaller than you and then walking away isn't a b---- move?

    I'd have to check the replay but do we even know CP3 did what he did on purpose? Either way he got into Kaman's head and it worked, so whatever...CP3 clearly won here.

    Kaman's just got such a s--- attitude, really the last kind of player I'd want on my team. Still remember him pretending to sleep across the bench and looking like he wasn't trying for half the games, blazers fans apparently love him though..

    Why are you defending the biggest flopper/b---- in the league? I know you and the other Laker fans like to complain once a year about the time you should have got him on the Lakers, but uhhh i dont get it.

    If you think Kaman was running away from that little weasel you are bugging. He pushed him and tried to get away with it.

    CP3's a great player, I personally don't think him flopping/complaining or whatever sometimes is anywhere near enough to outweigh the great things he does for a team. He's got the 'do what it takes to win' mindset which is great, sure he'll do something cheap every now and then but not a huge deal to me.

    He's got a bad rep which I don't totally get, it's like people look at the cheap things he does on rare occasions and ignore everything positive he does. Anyone who wouldn't want him on their team is crazy, same thing goes for someone like Lebron who also gets a bad rep for flopping and 'being a b----' at times.

    Who is saying they wouldnt want him on their team?

    Boogie is probably the biggest d-ck in the league but i would love him on the Celtics.

    Does that mean i cant say anything bad about him when he does something like this?(Smart is obviously no saint either)



    So it keep it real bro. If he does something wack you can call him on it.

    Fair enough, I agree it was a cheap play if he did it on purpose which he probably did. I'd have to check again to be sure but I don't really care enough lol.

    I guess my main point was I don't feel like discrediting that player cuz of cheap plays every now and then is really a fair thing to do, doesn't take away from what they do for their teams still.

    Also unfortunately I've seen plenty of people say they don't want Lebron or (insert another big name player here) cuz of cheap or b---- plays. In most cases these have been Laker fans on facebook pages, just amazes me when people actually wouldn't want those guys on their team lol, crazy. Starting to think some Laker fans are really spoiled, they'll see a rumor about someone like Westbrook joining the Lakers and they'll be like 'forget that, we want Durant instead!' Then of course this past summer there were some rumors about Lebron and unfortunately half the comments at least were against bringing him to the team, I couldn't believe it...

    Anyways, the Lakers have now had 7 players have season ending injuries this year. Nash, Randle, Xavier Henry, Kobe, Ronnie Price, Nick Young and Wayne Ellington.

    It's starting to become a joke how often NBA players get hurt, definitely feel like some of them are milking it at times...

    Anybody else see Wade's knee injury last night? It looked way worse than it ended up being. Only a bruised knee, but it's the same knee he just got drained. At first I though he did the full splits and I was like "he definitely pulled or tore something".

    Really need Orlando to beat the Twolves today, and although I really dislike pulling for the blazers cuz their fans/announcers annoy the h--- outta me but I need them to beat the Lakers tonight too, which should be easy tbh..

    Thunder/Grizzlies should be a fun game too, gonna watch some of that as well.

    So i guess Sullinger just all of a sudden isnt out for the season and will supposedly play tonight. Sounds like they made up an injury and put him in fat kid camp for the last few months or something lol...

    So apparently Mark Jackson doesn't think Curry is the MVP and Curry is surprised by that.

    Mark Jackson thinks Harden should win it

    He's been put in some pretty awkward situations on ESPN regarding the Warriors and their players... If he's being real, Harden does deserve it over Curry. I think Westbrook's play deserves it though. He's been on a tear unlike anything I have ever seen.

    Paul George returning and apparently starting against Miami tonight... What better way for him to come back? Against Miami in Indy. Hopefully my boy Wade can play so we get a good game. We need to win this one!

    Just checked to make sure the NBA wasnt dumb enough to schedule a Pacers home game during the final four. Sunday is perfect though, everyone will be in the building for his return.

    Haha idk why I said tonight... Sunday is indeed perfect. As much hate as I have given the Pacers over the years, I am excited for PG to return.
